Chapter 629: The situation is out of control again
When the imperial edict was transmitted to Guzang, Fuquan, who knew that the situation in the north had suddenly deteriorated, was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ordered Guan Yu to take people and pay close attention to the northern Hu cavalry assigned to his account, in case of accidents.
These Hu cavalry, together with the Bingzhou soldiers and Youzhou soldiers who came to help, followed Guan Yu from outside the Saiwai to kill through Wuwei County, and met with Fuquan vigorously in Jincheng County, in fact, more than half of the soldiers and horses have already been lost, and now there are more than 2,000 horsemen left, and they can't afford to make any big waves, but they can't be underestimated, after all, after this series of battles, they are also elite soldiers who can fight well.
And Fuquan sent people to monitor them, of course, because they were afraid that the more than 2,000 Hu soldiers from the north would hear that the tribe would rebel and follow suit.
Originally, after the Wuhuan rebellion, Fuquan was ready to isolate the Wuhuan soldiers in the army who were related to the rebellious Wuhuan tribe, but then I thought about it, after all, there were only hundreds of people left now, and some people were also confused about the rebellion of their own tribesmen, and even some people's tribes did not rebel, so to deal with them, we only need to appease their people, so they don't have to worry about chaos.
It's just that it's different now, the whole northern Xinjiang is in a mess, and Tu Ge and the Southern Xiongnu also rebelled, although the Southern Xiongnu have the meaning of being forced, but it is undeniable that some of the three Hu tribes rebelled, and for the more than 2,000 Hu horses in Liangzhou at the moment, there is also a lot of shock, and if one is not handled well, these people may rebel because of their sensitive minds.
Of course, the imperial court asked Fuquan to return the reinforcements to the northern Xinjiang, and Fuquan scolded the hundred officials and ministers in his heart, don't you know that there are 6,000 Hu soldiers in these soldiers? And after the Liangzhou War, they are all real elites, if they go to the northern Xinjiang, it is not good to be persuaded by the clansmen to return, then it is not a tiger returning to the mountain?
However, thinking about it later, maybe this is also the intention of the imperial court, they must know that they will not let these Hu soldiers leave, after all, if the Hu soldiers arrive in the north and really rebel with the same clan, the first person to punish the crime can only be Fu Quan himself, and in order to make up the number, he can only use his Liangzhou soldiers to fill it.
As for the Hu soldiers who were intercepted, Fuquan could only stay in Liangzhou, on the one hand, to use, on the other hand, to monitor, in this way, it was also in line with the imperial court's intention to weaken itself, and at the same time, using these Hu soldiers as nails embedded in the Liangzhou army, it was really killing two birds with one stone, so that he could sit in Liangzhou, and he could not sit still.
"Do you really think that's going to block me? I'm afraid you don't know the military political education of the Great Heavenly Empire in later generations, this bit of soldiers and horses see that I don't turn them into loyal Han soldiers......" Holding the imperial court, Fu Quan said to himself, and then ordered to prepare the Liangzhou soldiers and horses, but the imperial court wants to let itself bleed, but how can it be compensated?
In mid-August, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Fuquan wrote, because the Liangzhou soldiers entered the Central Plains, the northerners were afraid that it would be difficult to deter the Liangzhou border soldiers, in order to prevent the Jizhou Taiping Road from being wiped out in the past, the soldiers and horses of the states did not obey each other, and could not coordinate with each other.
At the same time, along with this recital, it was the list of new Taishou from all over the country played by Fuquan after the recovery of Liangzhou, including Fuquan's suggestion that Zhang Meng's father Zhang Huan had a prestige in Hexi in the past, and asked Zhang Meng to serve as the Taishou of Wuwei County.
However, although Fuquan hopes that these lists can be agreed by the imperial court, it is obvious that this is impossible, that is, the ministers and all the officials agree, and the emperor cannot agree.
At the end of August, above the court meeting, when the two letters of Fuquan were played, the emperor Liu Hong convened the ministers to discuss what Fuquan played, and the first thing to play was to let Guan Yu serve as the general of the Xiongnu, which gave the court a headache.
The reason is naturally Guan Yu's people, as we all know, Guan Yu is the old department that Fuquan brought out from the beginning of the county order, and Fuquan has a life-saving grace for him, let him serve as the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, obviously and now Fuquan who is the history of Liangzhou Thorn, echo each other, if there is a change, there will be a big trouble in the northern Xinjiang.
"Your Majesty, Guan Yu must not be careless in order to make the Xiongnu Zhonglang general, and the minister will steal what Fuliangzhou played, it is difficult to happen, I hope to think about it carefully!" He Jin was undoubtedly the first to come out to oppose it, although he knew that this matter was beneficial to quelling the chaos and war, but the state had a close relationship with him, so if the Xiongnu Zhonglang General returned to Guan Yu, it would undoubtedly destroy his interests and fuel the Fuquan forces, which He Jin would never allow.
Liu Hong, who was sitting at the top, nodded after hearing this: "What He Qing said is reasonable, Tu Ge and the Southern Xiongnu rebelled, so that the Xiongnu Zhonglang should be carefully selected, I don't know if Zhuqing has a suitable candidate?" All in one. ”
In fact, Liu Hong's move was entirely in the hope that there would be more candidates, and he could reasonably avoid the topic of making the Xiongnu Zhonglang General and Fuquan close. It's just that, obviously, for a while, there is no suitable candidate for the secretary of state, after all, with the current situation, the court must find a qualified general with military merits to lead this Liangzhou army, and compared with Guan Yu, who has countless military exploits, it is obvious that there are few people in the entire Han Dynasty who can compare, and there are even fewer people who can convince the Liangzhou soldiers.
Just when Liu Hong was angry, suddenly outside the court, there was an urgent shout, and then Zhao Zhong, the regular attendant, sent an urgent message to Liu Hong from outside the palace.
After receiving the urgent report, Liu Hong took a closer look at it, and immediately ordered: "Quasi-Liangzhou Assassin Shiquan invited, so that Guan Yu was the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, and the Liangzhou soldiers were defeated against Tuge and the Southern Huns." ”
After that, Liu Hong retreated, leaving the ministers looking at each other, they didn't understand why Liu Hong changed so quickly, after all, the emperor was obviously very hesitant about this matter just now.
It wasn't until someone got the news that he understood why Liu Hong changed so quickly, Tu Gehu united with the Southern Huns, attacked Taiyuan County, attacked and killed Zhang Yi, the assassin of Bingzhou, and the state was in chaos, and the state and county were terrified.
Indeed, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju are now having the momentum to annex the north, and the offensive of Tu Gehu and the Southern Huns is so fierce, it is just a position to make the Xiongnu generals, and Emperor Liu Hong naturally knows how to choose.
Of course, everyone also knew that although Liu Hong did not stop Fuquan's invitation, he did not agree to all of them, after all, for Fuquan's second request, the emperor withdrew without saying anything. As for the reason, it is naturally going to be delayed, anyway, Fuquan is the second to install his cronies, as long as everyone discusses it slowly, they can slowly arrange the right person to settle Liangzhou.
At the beginning of September, the edict sent Guan Yu, the Xiongnu Zhonglang, led 15,000 horsemen to rush to the aid of the state.
Outside Guzang City, Fuquan, who was still dealing with the affairs of the northern counties of Liangzhou, sent Guan Yu and other generals away, and this time, he equipped Guan Yu with a group of outstanding generals. Yan Yan, Gan Ning, Zhang Xiu, Hu Feng, Pang De, etc., the young talents of the Liangzhou Department under his command, are good at riding and attacking, but basically all of them are rationed to Guan Yu, which is to hope that Guan Yu will play the demeanor of the Liangzhou army, because only military exploits can make Guan Yu's position more stable, and he knows that the emperor may have a few years to live, so he has to lay out for the future situation under the current power.
"Envoy! Waiting for the good news! If you don't break the hu, you won't return to Xizhou! ”
"If you don't break the hu, you won't return to Xizhou!"
"If you don't break the hu, you won't return to Xizhou!"
"If you don't break the hu, you won't return to Xizhou!"
……
Guan Yu shouted to Fuquan, causing the elite of Liangzhou under his command to also shout, the momentum was huge, although some people were reluctant, causing Fuquan to frown a little, but in the end, under Fuquan's nod, they marched to the northeast, this time their marching route was from Liangzhou Beidi County, and went directly to the state to rescue.
Those who were reluctant, Fu Quan naturally knew why this was the case, they were basically Han soldiers left behind after Han Sui evacuated. For these soldiers, Fu Quan was naturally vigilant in his heart, but at first Fu Quan didn't know how to deal with it, after all, he had already decided not to slaughter, so he naturally couldn't leave a handle, and then when the court wanted him to return 10,000 cavalry reinforcements, they would be useful.
This is naturally used as a head, to fill the gap of 10,000 cavalry, and if it is not enough, then re-recruit some new recruits with good riding skills in the border areas, and some unsociable veterans to fill it.
Anyway, if you really want Fu Quan to give away his elite, it will never be possible, which is why he wants Guan Yu to be the general of the Huns, after all, he took the initiative to send five thousand Liangzhou horsemen, but in addition to the thousands of henchmen under Huang Zhong's command, the most elite soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, this soldier and horse can only be commanded by his own people, he can feel at ease.
"Envoy, 10,000 horsemen are gathered in such a hurry, if the princes of the court know, they will make the monarch mislead the state affairs!" Zhang Meng, who was temporarily arranged by Fuquan as the acting county guard of Wuwei County, was very worried when he saw Guan Yu's army with ten thousand horsemen in an uneven formation.
After hearing this, Fu Quan shook his head and said, "Don't worry! It's okay, now the princes of the court only care about the war in the north? What does it matter to the soldiers? ”
"But there are many new soldiers in this 10,000 cavalry, and the combat effectiveness is worrying, if something happens, the consequences are unpredictable."
"In the battle of Northern Xinjiang, there are 5,000 horsemen who are enough, and the elites of the Han Dynasty are all gathered in Northern Xinjiang, so what are you afraid of?" Fu Quan retorted to Zhang Meng without hesitation, and then turned to leave, without the slightest intention to continue talking to Zhang Meng, after all, he knew that talking to Zhang Meng, a smart person, his plot might really be discovered.
For Fu Quan, who wants to slaughter Zhuhu very much, he is not the main general in this battle to calm the chaos, so he can't let him solve it quickly, it is better to let the soldiers and horses in Northern Xinjiang slowly consume with the Hu people. He was confident, and led the Liangzhou army under his command to defeat the Hu people in Bingzhou and Youzhou, and learned the way to deal with the Qiang people in Liangzhou and dealt with these Hu people.
However, the key point now is that he Fuquan is not the main general of this battle, and he cannot implement this strategy at all, and besides, except for Tuge, the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan rebelled, and after the Han Dynasty was pacified, he would not agree to Fuquan's slaughter policy.
After all, the Southern Xiongnu rebelled because Shan Yu was killed, but most of the herdsmen were still loyal to the Han at the moment, that is, their dead Shan Yu's son Yu Fuluo, wasn't he still in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, with the Huns to help the Han attack Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju? Of course, at this moment, Yu Fuluo is probably asking the Han to send troops to help him restore the throne, right? And the Han family will definitely help the Southern Xiongnu manage it after pacifying the traitors because of the efforts of Yu Fuluo and other Southern Huns.
As for Wuhuan, although there are rebellions from Qiu Liju and other tribes, most of the Wuhuan tribes did not rebel, but there are also soldiers who help the Han, which makes it completely unnecessary for Fuquan to consume his own strength in this matter, anyway, according to the historical process, Fuquan knows that these rebellions were finally put down, even if these two rebellions happen together now, but there should not be too bad results.
After turning around, Fu Quan saw that Jia Xu's face was wrong, as if he had something to say, so he asked curiously, "What's the matter with Wen Hexin?" ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "It's not true, it's in northern Xinjiang." ”
As soon as these words came out, Fu Quan frowned and said, "What's the matter in Northern Xinjiang?" "In my memory, these two rebellions did not affect the north at all, and now that I have sent so many good generals, how can there be anything?
"The danger of chaos!"
"Wen He is more worried, Tu Ge, Southern Xiongnu, Wu Huan, Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, etc., are all ants, don't worry about it!"
"My worries are not what I am worried about."
"So what?"
"Black Mountain Army!"
Hearing this, Fu Quan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly looked in the northeast direction, only then did he understand why Jia Xu was worried, it was really because with the current rebel situation in the north, it was difficult to say that it would not let the Montenegrin army entrenched in Montenegro have any bad thoughts. After all, as the remnants of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, if they want to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve greater benefits, no one can guarantee that they will not rebel.
In the mountains of Montenegro, the so-called Black Mountain, the clear water comes out of the north of Xiu Wu County, Hanoi, and is called Montenegro. In other words, Heng Mountain, that is, the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, north of Hanoi, Jizhou Wei County, Zhao State, Changshan, and Zhongshan all belong to the Black Mountain range.
The deep mountains and old forests have always been the only choice for the people at the bottom to resist the imperial court, and there have been bandits who occupy the mountains as kings in the Montenegro region since ancient times, but most of them are not in the climate. However, with the pacification of Taiping Road, the Black Mountain thief who was the remnant of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief was born, although he had repeated defeats against the imperial court, but in the end, because of the sinister environment of Montenegro, the imperial court was forced to recruit peace, and the Black Mountain Army finally became a force in the north that could not be underestimated.
Originally, since they were recruited, these Montenegrin troops should naturally be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but they themselves became thieves due to the corruption of the Han Dynasty, and they did not have much loyalty to the Han family in their hearts.
It's just that because the Han Dynasty was powerful, they could only endure it, and with the rebellion of Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and the Wuhuan people, and then Tu Ge and the Southern Huns intervened again, and even killed the assassin Zhang Yi after the siege of the state, the thoughts of the soldiers from the head of the Montenegrin Army to the grassroots soldiers Zhang Yan became active again.
The situation of the Han Dynasty, obviously the situation collapsed to the extreme, Tu everyone, the Southern Huns and Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, and Wuhuan people's forces, each of which has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
